Chapter 85 - Obviously Biased (2/2)
Meanwhile, at an old restaurant located far from those luxurious, expensive places, Zhi Hei's bodyguards were sitting on two tables, ordering food for hotpot. Zhi Hei and Professor Luo Xia were sitting by themselves in the middle table.
Zhi Hei handed him another bottle of beer, ”I'm surprised that you would prefer eating here than the high-class restaurants.”
”Hahahaha, young one. Before this old man got famous, I used to hang out with gangs on the streets! Not those with dragon tattoos or drug dealers, but those skinny bones. You know what I mean!” Professor Luo Xia raised his arm and ordered a few more toppings for his level five spiced hotpot.
Zhi Hei chose the original soup base when he pictured his intestines melting from the inside if he eats the spicy one. Professor Luo Xia laughed heartily as he said, ”it's been so long since I've last visited this place. The boss already retired and now his son is managing this place. Such good old times.”
”If I remember correctly, the institution lets professors choose their own semesters to teach. If so, then wouldn't you have time to come back once in a while?”
”Yes, that is correct. In fact, I had the thought of coming back for many years, but...there were just too many things that held me back.” Professor Luo Xia'a eyes hinted sorrow and his voice trailed off.
Zhi Hei didn't want to press on a subject that he did not want to talk about, so he changed it to the upcoming event. ”By the way, Yin Susu agreed to attend the event. I remember that you were quite sure that she would accept the invite.”
”Ah, you probably wonder about the same question over and over, huh? Fine, fine. I believe in the girl's skill. That's why I wanted to pass an invitation to her.” He smiled and gulped a few sips of beer down his throat.
”It's rare to hear these words come from your mouth. So you actually have the much confidence in that girl...”
”Absolutely.”
”You seem biased when it comes to her.” Zhi Hei said it as a joke, but the following response almost made him choke on his mouthful of beer.
”I don't 'seem' biased. I am obviously biased, okay?” The waiter came at the right moment to distribute the toppings that they've ordered. Professor Luo Xia rubbed his palms together and started to dig in as he threw vegetables and different types of meat into his boiling soup.
Zhi Hei had only realized that whenever he meets with this professor, he would never get any answers; only more questions. He shook his head and pretended that he never heard those words.
